picked up last night
Hello Everyone,
Picked up my 07 MCS BRG\W last night, I had a lot of anxiety about buying another european car after the "volvo incident" ,as my wife calls it. Love the car.
A few observations
-It is very interesting how when they are selling you the car they talk about how well built it is, then they try to sell you the extended service/warranty packages and convince you that the engine is going to shoot out of the bonnet when you leave the parking lot.
-This car has an extremely solid feel to it, handling is superb, and the turbo is sweet down low. The only disappointment was the CD player did not work.
-Leatherette does not seem to breathe very well. Maybe I was sweating trying to keep the RPM's under 4500, and I drove around for 1.5 hours.
-The ergonomics of the dash controls do not seem to be very good, but after an hour I accomodated.
-I want drive around the U.S. in this car fly fishing. Would anybody like to sponsor me?
I will post a pic soon.
